Second time playing here and will be coming again for sure. The staff are amazing, the practice facilities are next level with range balls included and trackman on every bay. The starter has a personalised metal bag tag for every player. The course is in fantastic condition with greens teams raking bunkers all over the place and marshalls on the course to check everything is going ok and pace of play is good. The new clubhouse is also fantastic as is the food. Probably not going to be your cheapest round in the area, but absolutely worth it.

Excellent and well managed course. Facilities are first class as is the service from the moment you arrive and until you leave. The staff at the pro shop provided an excellent overview of the course, facilities etc. Trackmans have been installed on the driving range, complimentary coffee at the first tee.
Some feel the Green fees high, however I believe they are commensurate with the experience provided.

The best course we've played in the Algarve so far (11 so far). Everything seems a bit quieter and more beautiful. The clubhouse is elegant but rather simple. The staff greets guests at the parking lot and truly tries to anticipate their every need. The driving range offers free balls arranged in pyramids and a Trackman for every lane! At tee 1, you receive your score card and personalized Old Course bag tag. The fairways are beautifully laid out, and you don't miss the sea and cliffs at all on this course. The greens are nice and firm and the fastest we've played here so far. You should be in good shape, as there are quite a few elevation changes to overcome (if you don't use a buggy). After the round, we were greeted by staff at the 18th green, who presented us with a certificate for a successful day. The caddy master gave us a wet towel to refresh ourselves. We rounded off the day on the small but lovely terrace with a steak sandwich and a burger. Excellent!!!
